It's time for a trip down memory lane again...

I'm going home!! Bevo and real salsa here I come....

I'm eager to roll into Austin again, not only to catch up with fam and friends, but this time I can't wait to check the progress onthe Capitol MetroRail, which is set to start service next year. One of the stops, it is my pleasure to note, is on Howard Lane, near my first boyhood home in the U.S. Somehow life comes full circle for a transit urban designer...

Improv

I practice architecture and urban design in Charlotte, N.C., often as a consultant in transportation projects. The rest of my time I help layout the developments of the clients of the firm I work for. While I'd like to be an urbanist, if anything, I'm an expert in the layout of parking lots. For now, just consider me an "aspiring urbanist", until governments allow me to practice what I preach.
